    I just saw the trailer for this, hole-lee crap it looks good!! The production on it is really high, it seems more like a film than a television series. The zombies looks ace, too.

    You can find the trailer on YouTube but since it was of a Cam quality (still watchable) I didn't bother posting it here, save yourselves for the real trailer which should be out soon.

    Plus, the trailer they should at ComicCon was of a cut down version since the event is a "family friendly" one. The trailer is still fairly violent, though. :D

    And the closing shot is savage. Really can't wait for this now!

    Already got renewed and they haven't even aired an episode!
    While at Comic Con, producer and series overlord Frank Darabont has announced a second series has been green-lit so impressed are AMC with what’s been delivered already.

    ^ sounds like AMC just tryna out do Starz. I'll reserve qualified opinion until i see the pilot with an episode or two, it's hard to say based on a cam trailer....but i really hated 28 days Later, cheapo zombie crap.

    There's little or no shaky cam on this series, it's filmed in a more cinematic style (coming from on-set reports and from Frank, himself)

    Being that it's a TV show I'd say it costs a lot to make this happen, especially the 1st season to clarify the wider scope of zombie apocalypse (cities, streets and all that) The only comparison to 28 Days Later is when main guy wakes up in hospital, it ends there.

    I love that bit with the tank at the end.

    Not gonna watch that trailer as it looks like woeful quality!

    They'll release an official one in the next week I'd say.

    EDIT: How could anyone hate '28 Days Later'? Once again Richard, you baffle me! ;)

    You'll be really disappointed if that's what you expect, the comic book is nothing like that, though there's plenty of action/suspense in it. The trailer looks very faithful to the first few issues, though there are some notable differences which is good, as it would take away from the show to know everything that is coming...

    Great news about the early renewal too.

    It gets better.... Bear McCreary of BSG fame is doing the score, can't wait to see the outcome.

    Caught a bit of the trailer but switched it off cos i hates spoilers. Even tiny ones. But I am really looking forward to this.

    Are AMC kinda like Showtime and HBO in that they wont pussy out on gore & nudity & violence?

    Nope, I think AMC is basic cable so they're more like FX rather than premium cable channels like Showtime and HBO. They won't broadcast the same level of violence, nudity or swearing as HBO/Showtime but they are a bit more free than the basic free-to-air networks like FOX, ABC, etc. So there probably will be more violence and swearing on the show than on the major networks. The trailer shown at Comic-Con was apparently "watered down" for the convention.

    I started reading the comic series the other night... excellent stuff!

    They're a brief read at 32 pages per issue, and there's been 75 issues so far AFAIK.

    Definitely recommend them too. The problem with starting to read them now (I only did a few weeks back too) is that you go through all 75 issues really fast and then crave more :). Kirkman tends to end the majority of issues on pretty big cliffhangers too...

    Tbh if its done right I wont care about the nudity, gore and violence. I read the comics when they came out and its more character driven anyway.

    Still...when you think Zombies you think gore.

    Yep, and the comic is pretty gruesome at times, though it usually isn't because of the zombies! ;)
